International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) New Field of Technical Activity Proposal for a new technical committee entitled “Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage” Comment Deadline: August 30, 2013 The IEC National Committees have been invited to vote before September, 6, 2013 on a proposal by IEC SC17B and IEC SC17D Secretaries for a New Field of Technical Activity – Switchgear and Controlgear and Their Assemblies for Low Voltage.

Draft Scope: To prepare international standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear equipment for industrial, commercial and similar use rated below or equal to 1 kV a.c. and 1,5 kV d.c, electromechanical as well as semiconductor (solid state) equipment. The scope includes open and enclosed separate items of equipment as well as assemblies which are the combinations of items of equipment into complete functional units. Purpose and Justification: Introduction: After the consultation made by TC 17 (document 17/996/Q) about its structure, the resulting comments (document 17/998/RQ) have pointed the necessity for a stronger coordination between SC 17B and SC 17D which was not easy without any activities at TC 17 level. The document proposes a new organization for low voltage activities. Business: In mature countries, most of the devices covered by SC 17B are integrated within assemblies covered by SC 17D. Continued effort is required to ensure wider adoption of the standards in less developed markets and countries. The market trend is to optimise solutions in terms of functions and performance, at a high level of safety for each domain of application, for example: infrastructure, building, machinery, etc. This implies a stronger coordination between component and assembly standards committees, especially for new industrial applications, such as PV, windmills, etc. Technology: The new trends are the incorporation of more electronic parts in switchgear, of more IT subsystems integrated in assemblies, of DC power supply distribution and of aluminum conductors. These are the challenges for future common rules in SC 17B and SC 17D.

The U S National Committee has been invited to indicate if it agrees with the scope proposed for this new IEC TC, if it wishes to register as a Participating Member and if it intends to actively participate. If the USNC is to become a P Member, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will have to be established and a TAG Administrator will have to be assigned. If any entities are interested in the position of TAG Administrator, they are invited to contact by FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2013, Tony Zertuche, USNC Deputy General Secretary, at [email protected].



International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) New Field of Technical Activity Proposal for a new technical committee on UHV AC transmission systems Comment Deadline: August 30, 2013 The IEC National Committees have been invited to vote before September 6, 2013 on a proposal from the Chinese National Committee for a New Field of Technical Activity – UHV AC transmission systems.

Draft Scope: Standardization in the field of AC transmission technology at 1000 kV and above, comprising systems-oriented guidance such as that for planning, design aspects, technical requirements, construction, commissioning, reliability, availability, operation and maintenance. Processes for specifying requirements and demonstrating whether the required performance of UHV systems is assured. Responsibility for equipment standards remains with product TCs, except for specific equipment which is not within the scope of an existing TC but is nevertheless essential for the UHV transmission system. The UHV AC Transmission TC will consult and coordinate with the product TCs in all systems-related aspects of equipment standards.

The U S National Committee has been invited to indicate if it agrees with the scope proposed for this new IEC TC, if it wishes to register as a Participating Member and if it intends to actively participate. If the USNC is to become a P Member, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will have to be established and a TAG Administrator will have to be assigned. If any entities are interested in the position of TAG Administrator, they are invited to contact by FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2013, Tony Zertuche, USNC Deputy General Secretary, at [email protected].

(This foreword is not part of this standard. It is merely informative and does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard. It has not been processed according to the ANSI requirements for a standard and may contain material that has not been subject to public review or a consensus process. Unresolved objectors on informative material are not offered the right to appeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.)

FO REWO RD This addendum makes changes to Table 7.5.3 which has equivalent carbon dioxide emission rates (CO2e) for common energy sources used in buildings. The energy performance option (Section 7.5) has three tests: energy cost, electric peak and CO2e emissions. Values in Table 7.5.3 are used to determine the CO2e emission rates for both the baseline and the proposed design. The table values are updated for a number of reasons, primarily the shift in the electric generation industry from coal to natural gas since the table was last published. Modifications to the table also respond to requests to add data for district energy (purchased steam, chilled water and hot water), and biomass. The proposed values include both direct emissions at the building as well as indirect (upstream) emissions. The methodology used to derive the recommended values is consistent with the 2007 NREL report entitled “Source Energy and Emission Factors for Energy Use in Buildings”, but uses more current information from EIA, EPA, USGBC, DOE, and NREL, as well as public information from industry groups, trade associations, and web sites. Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes. Only these changes are open for review and comment at this time. Additional material is provided for context only and is not open for comment except as it relates to the proposed substantive changes. Addendum an to 189.1-2011 Modify Table 7.5.3 as follows: 7.5.3 Annual Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e). The building project shall have an annual CO2e less than or equal to that achieved by compliance with Sections 7.3 and 7.4, and Sections 5.3.2.2, 5.3.2.3, 6.3.2, 6.4.2, 8.3.1, 8.3.4, and 8.4.1. Comparisons shall be made using Normative Appendix D provided that the baseline building design is calculated in accordance with Section 7.5.2. To determine the CO2e value for each energy source supplied to the building project, multiply the energy consumption by the emissions factor. CO2e emission factors shall be taken from Table 7.5.3.

(This foreword is not part of this standard. It is merely informative and does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard. It has not been processed according to the ANSI requirements for a standard and may contain material that has not been subject to public review or a consensus process. Unresolved objectors on informative material are not offered the right to appeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.) FO REWO RD This addendum is intended to clarify the requirements for sealing air filter installations, which are currently overly vague and difficult to interpret. The SSPC has already received one interpretation request, which was challenging to response to given the existing requirements. The changes describe where and what type of sealing is required. Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes. Only these changes are open for review and comment at this time. Additional material is provided for context only and is not open for comment except as it relates to the proposed substantive changes. Addendum ao to 189.1-2011 Modify Table 7.5.3 as follows:

8.3.1.3 Filtration and Air Cleaner Requirements

c. Bypass Pathways Sealing. All filter frames, air cleaner racks, access doors, and air cleaner cartridges shall be sealed. Where particulate matter filters or air cleaners are required by 8.3.1.3, filter tracks, filter supports, filters and access doors shall be sealed in accordance with the following: Where filter track and filter support systems incorporate multiple filters, the gap between each filter shall be sealed with a gasket and the gap between the filter and its track or support shall be sealed using gaskets that expand when the filter is removed. Filter support systems shall include a filter-to-support gasket permanently installed on the filter support, except for filter track and filter support systems that seal around the filter by means of a friction fit . Filter tracks and filter supports shall be sealed to the HVAC equipment housing and ducts by a sealant or other sealing method. Filter access doors shall be sealed to minimize filter bypass and air leakage into or out of the system. Gaskets and seals used to comply with the requirements of this section shall be capable of effecting a seal for the anticipated life of the equipment, and the system shall be designed such that the seals are readily accessible. Field or shop fabricated spacers shall not be installed for the purpose of replacing the intended size filter with a smaller size filter.


Disclaimer While this National Ground Water Association (NGWA) standard represents the consensus work product of the NGWA and its members after careful study and deliberation as of the date of this document, this standard does not, and cannot, reflect variances in local and state law, custom, and practice in a certain locality, or regional geology. It is a standard, not a mandatory one. Those relying upon the standard are encouraged to make their own independent assessment and evaluation of options as to appropriate construction practices for their business and in the geographic region of their work. NGWA does not endorse any product or product type for water well system construction or water well system operation and does not approve, certify, or test any such products.

1. Well Site Selection Added “safety of the public and project personnel.”

2.1. Water Well Casing Materials Stenciling and/or mill test reports shall be made available to the well owner as required.

2.2. Casing Properties When calculating strength requirements, an added safety margin shall be considered for dynamic forces encountered during installation.

2.2.1. Casing Diameter The inside diameter of the casing shall allow for the maximum flow capacity and minimal head loss during expected well life and the size and type of installed pumping equipment.

2.2.2. Resistance to Collapse Industry standard formulae, such as the Timoshenko formula for steel or the F480 for PVC, shall be used to calculate casing collapse strength, appropriate to the casing material:

2.3.1 Centralizer Placement and Use with an Annulus Professional judgment shall be used in all cases for the placement and spacing of centralizers.

2.3.2. Steel Casing The placement method shall not compromise the alignment or structural integrity of the casing.

2.3.2.1. Lowering Removed “jointed.” Added that the casing string shall be “supported at all times during installation.”

2.3.2.2. Jacking Replaced “pulling down on” with “by manipulating” and “two to four” with “one or more.” Removed the term “exactly” parallel. Retained parallel.

2.3.2.3. Driving Only Steel casing specified as drive casing can material shall be selected to withstand the forces applied during driving. Replaced “a standard” with “a commercially available” drive shoe…

2.3.3. Thermoplastic, Concrete Tile, and Fiberglass Casing Removed shall not be “pushed” into place. These casings The placement method shall only be lowered in place not compromise the alignment or structural integrity of the casing.

2.3.3.1. Lowering Removed “jointed.” Added that the casing string shall be “supported at all times during installation.”

BSR/NGWA 01-201x


2.4. Methods of Joining Replaced “well” with “normal operating” conditions. There should be no leakage at joints above the screened interval. The joining of casing sections, screen sections, and casing to screens shall be made by direct joint connection or friction seal.

2.5. Casing Termination Point The surrounding aquifer material must be stabilized before and during grout placement. Temporary casing or adequate fluid pressure is necessary to prevent borehole collapse and loss of necessary space for sealing the annulus. Regardless of size, weight, or length of the well casing, it is important in all conditions that proper seals are achieved at design termination depths.

2.4.3.2.5.1. Consolidated Formations (Seated) The casing shall be seated so that it will not move vertically or go out of alignment. Where the casing is to be lowered into place, In consolidated formations, the bottom of the casing shall extend a sufficient distance into competent, unfractured rock, to create an adequate bottom seal. Where an annular space exists, it shall be grouted as described in Section 4 Grouting.

2.4.4.2.5.2. Unconsolidated Formations In unconsolidated formations, the bottom of the casing shall extend a sufficient distance into a competent rock the formation, to assure a proper seat and bottom seal the desired depth. Where top-of-rock water is the target, the casing an annular space exists, it shall be set to ensure a solid and sanitary formation seal. Where grouted as described in Section 4 Grouting. When casing is driven, a drive shoe shall be to refusal. Terminating Casing in used at the bottom of the casing, and shall be driven into the desired formation. The casing can be pulled back to expose a screen. The casing shall be seated so that it will not move vertically or go out of alignment.

2.5.2.6. Wellhead Protection Completion Added the casing shall be “ventilated and secured” and removed “a locking or standard” sanitary well cap. If thermoplastic well casing is used, the wellhead shall be protected from any potential for damage that could compromise the integrity of the well. There shall be no openings in the casing below its top except for an approved pitless well adapter or unit. When used, pitless units and pitless adapters shall be attached to the casing by threading, welding, or compression connection in a manner that will make the connection watertight. If an access port is installed, it must be watertight.

3.1. Screen Changed “pre-manufactured” to read “factory-manufactured.” Removed all reference to mill slots and mills knife cuts. Added “factory slotted screens.”

3.4.1. Length and Positioning Removed: Where the transmissivity of the aquifer is very large in comparison to the length of screen needed for desired production or in wells designed for low capacity where smaller percentages of the aquifer can be screened without affecting well efficiency, the length of the openings shall be reduced accordingly added: Current and future aquifer conditions and design capacity should be taken into consideration in deciding screen length.


3.4.2. Openings In addition to the design requirements of Section 3.4.5 Slot Size Selection, slots consideration shall be given to make the aperture openings as wide as possible, with a configuration (width, number of rows, etc.) that optimizes flow performance, consistent even spacing, and with the need to maintain structural integrity, largest percentage open area as possible to facilitate development, to reduce biofouling, to maximize production of water, and to maintain the entrance velocity at a rate which provides laminar flow.

3.4.3. Diameter Added “considering all related factors.”

3.4.3.2. Filter Pack Completion The frequency of sampling shall adequately represent the vertical interval to be screened. Typical sampling intervals are every five (5) to ten (10) feet or at each formation change. A uniform filter pack shall be clean, well-rounded, have as high a silica content as possible, and shall be acid resistant. The filter pack shall be placed by a method that prevents bridging and creates uniform placement and prevents the pumping of fines.

3.4.3.2.4. Special Design for Filter Pack Installation Clarified …additional “filter pack” material…

3.4.3.2.5.2. Unconsolidated Formations Removed “temporarily.”

3.4.3.2.6. Casing and Screen Diameter to Borehole Size Centralizers shall be uniformly spaced vertically to maintain the screen in the center of the borehole. Centralizers shall be placed at a maximum of forty (40) foot intervals. When the screen length is less than forty (40) feet, a centralizer In all cases, professional judgment shall be placed at the top and the bottom of the screen utilized to select the proper annular thickness based on site conditions and local regulatory requirements.

3.4.6. Pressure Relief Screen design consideration for necessary A pressure relief screen or tell-tale screen shall be used in telescoping screen applications to relieve the differential pressure between the inner liner and outer casing. The pressure relief screen shall be placed between the top of the production screen and below the top of the riser pipe or packer to relieve differential pressure during pumping. Differential pressure has a tendency to expel the filter pack material and slip packer.

BSR/UL 427, Standard for Safety for Refrigerating Units

1. Proposed requirements for flammable refrigerant charge sizes greater than 150 grams

PROPOSAL

SA2.3 Limits of Flammability - The range of refrigerant concentrations in air, minimum and maximum, capable of flame propagation in accordance with the Standard Test Method for Concentration Limits of Flammability of Chemicals (Vapors and Gases), ASTM E681, using a spark flammable refrigerant ignition source and a 12 liter (0.424 ft3) flask. Commonly called Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) and Upper Flammable Limit (UFL).

SA2.4 Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) - The minimum flammable limit used in the Limits of Flammability range of refrigeration concentrations in air.

SA2.5 Refrigerant Concentration Limit (RCL) - The refrigerant concentration limit, in air, is in accordance with the Standard for Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants, ASHRAE 34. For A3 flammable refrigerants, this value is equal to 25 percent of the Lower Flammable Limit (LFL).

SA2.6 Upper Flammability Limit (UFL) - The maximum flammable limit used in the Limits of Flammability range of refrigeration concentrations in air.

SA3.3 The refrigerant charge size limit for refrigerating units shall be as follows for the kind of refrigerant used. If the refrigerating unit contains multiple refrigeration circuits, the charge limit is applied to each refrigeration circuit.

a) No charge limit - ASHRAE 34 Class 1, No-flame propagation refrigerant. Has no limits of flammability and no auto-ignition temperature.

b) No charge limit - When the blend complies with the exception to SA3.4.

c) 500 grams (17.7 oz) - ASHRAE 34 Class 2, Lower Flammability refrigerant. Has limits of flammability, and heat of combustion less than 19,000 kJ/kg (8,169 Btu/lb).

d) 150 grams (5.3 oz) - ASHRAE 34 Class 3, Higher Flammability refrigerant. Has limits of flammability and heat of combustion greater than 19,000 kJ/kg (8,169 Btu/lb).


Exception: When the refrigerant charge of an ASHRAE 34 Class 3 refrigerant within a refrigerating unit exceeds 150 grams (5.3 oz), the refrigerant charge shall not exceed 300 grams (10.6 oz) and

a) The refrigerating unit shall be intended for use only with a walk-in cooler or freezer with volume dimensions exceeding those determined in SA3.3.1; or

b) The refrigerating unit shall be:

1) Provided with refrigerant detection as indicated in SA4.3; and

2) Intended for use with a walk-in cooler or freezer containing components evaluated for installation in a Class 1, Division 2 location.

SA3.3.1 In reference to the Exception to SA3.3(d), the minimum walk-in cooler or freezer volume shall be determined by dividing the refrigerating unit charge size by the refrigerant concentration limit (RCL) of the specific refrigerant being used. If the refrigerating unit contains multiple refrigeration circuits, then the refrigerant amount for the largest circuit shall be used for this calculation. The following example shows the calculation of the minimum walk-in cooler or freezer volume for a refrigerating unit having 300 grams (10.6 oz) of propane refrigerant (calculation shown in English units):

Minimum walk-in cooler or freezer volume (ft3) = Refrigerating Unit Charge Size (lb) / RCL (lb/Mcf)

In which:

RCL= Refrigeration Concentration Limit, lb/Mcf

RCL for propane = 0.56 lb/Mcf; value in accordance with Table 1 of ASHRAE 34

Mcf = 1000 ft3 of air space.

300 grams (10.6 oz) of propane = 0.66 pounds

So:

Minimum walk-in cooler or freezer volume, ft3 = 0.66 lb ÷ [0.56 lb/Mcf] = 0.66 x [1000 ÷ 0.56] = 1179 ft3

SA3.3.2 Table SA3.1 contains refrigeration concentration limits (RCLs) for common flammable refrigerants and the minimum walk-in cooler or freezer volume based on some refrigerant charges.

SA4.3 Refrigerant Detection

SA4.3.1 A refrigerant detector provided in accordance with the Exception to SA3.3(d) item (b)(1) shall be set to raise an alarm if the refrigerant concentration level within the air stream of the refrigerating unit exceeds 25 percent of the Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) of the refrigerant. Twenty five percent of the LFL is equal to the Refrigerant Concentration Limit (RCL). Values of RCL for common refrigerants are shown in Table SA3.1 and as an example, if propane is the refrigerant, then the detector would need to operate once the refrigerant concentration level in the air stream equals 0.56 lb per 1000 ft3 of air volume (9.5 g/m3 of air volume).

SA4.3.2 If a refrigerant detector is provided for compliance with the Exception toSA3.3(d) item (b)(1), it shall comply with the Standard for Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors, UL 2075 or with the Standard for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements, UL 61010-1.

SA6.1.9 With reference to the Exception to SA3.3(d), refrigerating units with an ASHRAE 34 Class A3 refrigerant charge exceeding 150 grams (5.3 oz.) shall be marked "CAUTION - This refrigerating unit shall be installed and operated with a walk-in cooler or freezer of a size or type as indicated in the installation instructions."

SA6.2.4 With reference to SA6.2.3, the instructions for a refrigerating unit with an ASHRAE 34 Class A3 refrigerant charge exceeding 150 grams (5.3 oz.) shall indicate "This refrigerating unit is to be installed on a walk-in cooler or freezer having a minimum inside total volume of a cubic feet. If the volume of the walk-in cooler or freezer is less than a cubic feet, the refrigerating unit can be installed if the electrical equipment in the


walk-in cooler or freezer meets Class 1, Division 2; refrigerant leak detection is provided, and all other requirements for refrigerated rooms in ASHRAE 15 are met ".

aThe walk-in cooler or freezer minimum inside total volume shall be calculated in accordance with SA3.3.1
